Dana White says Nick Diaz may fight in 2021

​

Speaking to Kevin Iole, UFC president Dana White said that it is possible that we might see Nick Diaz back in the octagon in 2021:

​

​

​

"It's looking like he might fight this year. You know me. Everytime you ask me, I say 'No! No! No!'. He actually might fight this year. We'll see how this thing plays out," said Dana White.

When asked about the weight division at which Diaz will be competing, Dana White said:

​

​

​

"I'm assuming he'll come back at 170. I don't think he'd wanna fight at 185 here. I get it he wanted to do the Anderson Silva thing but you don't wanna fight at 185. No way, especially after not fighting for six years. 170 is bad enough."

Nick Diaz has been posting training pictures and videos on his Instagram account. The posts reveal Diaz is in good shape and seemingly ready for a comeback.
